Q. How can I succeed with my new hearing aids?
A. Be patient and positive. Hearing loss usually happens over several years so getting used to hearing aids won’t happen overnight. Wear your hearing aids every day. Try wearing your hearing aids 8-10 hours/day. Remember, you’re training your brain to hear sound again. Follow up appointments. See your hearing care professional 1-2 weeks after receiving your new hearing aids. Settings may need to be fine-tuned as you go through your trial period. Have realistic expectations. Remember, hearing aids will help you hear better, but they may not be able to help you hear perfectly.
